Mary Kate Heys, 20, from Manchester claims she was kidnapped by a Swedish man she met at her hostel in Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast and taken about 80km away to Gympie against her will on Monday morning. She said she accompanied the man when he woke her at 4.30am because she feared for his safety when he appeared 'wide-eyed' at her door. They began travelling up the coast and she was able to get help by texting her father (left inset), who was on the other side of the world, sending him her location to allow the police to track the car (right inset). They stopped the man before he could reach his planned destination of Cairns. Ms Heys did not press charges.

With a careless disregard for others, fliers have been captured flashing the flesh in tiny hot pants and without their tops and trousers. Men are pictured with their hands down their pants, scratching, while female passengers allow their long hair to selfishly hang over the entertainment screen behind them.

A single mother forced to live in a tent with her three children after having to clean houses like Kerry Packer's mansion to make ends meet has opened up about the shame she felt not being able to buy Christmas presents for her little ones. Nikki McWatters, 50, was living in a 'dive' in Bondi, a beach-side suburb in Sydney's eastern suburbs, with milk crates for furniture after her divorce but found herself without a home or anyone to fall back on when her new partner passed away. With three children and no where to stay, the writer reached out to friends and 'couch surfed' in Sydney but spent the majority of her time that summer living in a small blue tent pitched on the northern New South Wales coast.

Rachelle Friedman Chapman, 29, from Raleigh, North Carolina, was scared she would never have a normal sex life again after the freak accident before her wedding left her as a quadriplegic. 'I was like ... am I ever going to feel an orgasm again?' she told Tonic.  'Am I going to enjoy sex when I do it, even if I figure it out? Is it going to feel like nothing for me?' Chapman says that many people confined to wheelchairs, would choose to have sexual function and sensation before they could walk again. 'For someone like me who's a quadriplegic, it's a toss-up between hand function and sexual function.'

Victoria Loveless, from Leamington Spa, UK, pictured far left, is just one of a group of women who claim they got what they wanted by following Rhonda Byrne's self-help book released in 2006. It told people to think positive, writing a list asking the universe for what you want and it would come to you, so long as it was phrased in the right way.

Centre, Wendy Fry says she got an exciting career, while Rachael Taplin, second right, got to see the world. Carline James, far right, says she got her novel published thanks to the Secret.

Friends claim Wildenstein's accusations are nothing but a spiteful tit-for-tat bid to discredit couturier Lloyd Klein for walking out on her.
Klein is accused of assaulting Wildenstein while trying to collect some of his belongings from their ritzy apartment.

The hotels of the future have been revealed - and they are very different indeed from lodgings that travellers are used to today. Visitors can expect to sleep in beds that self-assemble, to have pre-programmed dreams thanks to neuro-technology (top left), eat food based on DNA analysis (bottom right), check in using DNA (inset) and stay in hotels that will be fully sustainable (bottom left). Health treatments, meanwhile, will be based on DNA, too (top right). The revelations come courtesy of Dr James Canton of the Institute for Global Futures in San Francisco, who produced an eye-opening report on the hotels of the future.

A love struck man got down on bended knee and proposed to the love of his life - and the tender moment was captured by a professional photographer who just happened to be passing. Tree surgeon Paul Groves took his girlfriend Christina Dales to Newquay Headland in Cornwall on Sunday before asking her to marry him. Sports photographer Robert Taylor, who was taking pictures of a surfing competition nearby, spotted Paul drop to one knee - and instinctively got his camera out and managed to capture every stage of the romantic proposal. And it was something of a whirlwind romance for the pair, who met through mutual friends at a dinner dance only one year ago.

A baffled North Korean border railway guard took his first puff of an electronic cigarette that he confiscated from British tourist Del Dinsdale (inset). The official thought the e-cig was a 'bomb' but gave it a try once Mr Dinsdale explained it was a vapour cigarette.

When it comes to sibling rivalry, there is often nothing more dramatic than a fight over fight - and it seems that even extends to guinea pigs, too! An adorable video has surfaced showing the moment the two cute-as-a-button rodents squabbling over a baby carrot. The clip, which recently appeared on the video sharing website Jukin Media, shows the pair of siblings trying to overpower the other for the vegetable. After some to-ing and fro-ing, it finally goes to the guinea pig sitting on the left. Sadly, the one on the right comes out with just a tiny, broken-off piece in its mouth.

A German doctor's vacant home and surgery was left behind, filled with spooky belongings. Urologist Doctor Klaus Kraft died in 1988 and his home was left to rot, 30 years after his death.

It took two years for Able to fully recover but now he can jump onto high ledges.
